Live in NYC? Like to attend the birth of great art?

You are invited to a read-through and then feedback session for MARTIN LUTHER: THE MUSICAL, on Tuesday, June 19th, 6:30 pm at the Kraine Theater. The Kraine Theater is at 85 E. 4th Street between 2nd Ave and Bowery.

MARTIN LUTHER: THE MUSICAL is the story of the last great attempt by the Islamic Ottoman Empire to take over the Holy Roman Empire, and the astounding role played by a dynamic yet humble German monk, Martin Luther. Luther nails 95 proposals for debate on a little church door, setting off an extraordinary chain of events just as the Ottomans begin their campaign to invade Vienna, the doorstep of the Roman Empire. Will Luther, a priest, help support the Catholic Church and the Empire as it tries to hold back an army that has crushed its way West? What will happen if he doesn't?

Like Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," this musical uses historic events to illuminate modern-day circumstances.

We hope you will attend this readthrough and provide feedback afterward. This is very much a work-in-progress and we really need your opinion.
